The boiler which exploded on the Harlem
waterfront yesterday, killing two men and
probably fatally injuring another, was in charge
of incompetent mon, who have paid with their
lives the penalty of attempting to do something
about which they had the most meagre knowl-
edge. That more lives were not sacrificed is
matter for consratulatlon. 1t is said that this
boiler. which probably ought to have been con-
demned long ago, had never been inspected
because the owner had never applied to the in
spectors. How many boilers on other small
.team craft in these waters are in like condl.

sensational books on a youth of ardent mag
nation is brought to notice to-day. A young
Spaniard became fascinated by the career OF
criminal as portrayed in piece of fiction OF
low grade and resolved to initiate the exploit
of the hero of what does not deserve to be
termed a novel. The incidents of the story
centred in a forgery and what was made to
look like IN attempt at burglary, and the copy
was studiousy followed. There the resem-

successful in his villany; the real one is under

woman and one who Vas qualified In
every direction In fact il needed
Florence Nightingale and she went. For
a year and a half till the close of the war
she did a wonderful work, reducing the
death rate in the Barrack Hospital from
so per cent. to little above one per
cent. Said the London Times CORES
pendent: ''She is . sministering angel,
without any exaggeration in these hos
pitfalls, and as her slender form glidcs
quietly along each corridor, every poor
fellows face softens with gratitude at
the sight of her." One of the soldiers
wrote home: ''She would speak to one
and another, and nod and smile to many
more; but she could not doit to all, you
know, for we lay there by hundreds ;but
we could kiss her shadow as 1t fell, and
lay our heads on the pillows again con-
tent" Another wrote home: Before
she came there was cussin' and swearin',
and after that it was as holy as achurch. y
No wonder she was called the CANCEL
OF the Crimea." Once she was prostrat-
ed with fever but recovered after a few
weeks.
Finally the war came to an end. Lon
don was preparing to give Miss Nightin-
gale royal welcome, when, 10! she took
passage on French steamer, and reached
Lea Hurst, unbeknown to any one.
There was a murmur of disappointment
at first, but the people could only honor
all the more the woman who wished no
blare of trumpets for her humane acts.
Queen Victoria sent for her to visit her
at Balmoral, and presented her with a
valuable jewel. The Sultan sent her a
magnificent bracelet, and the Govern
ment, $3.50, 600, to found school for
nurses ut st. Thomas Hospital. Since
the war Miss Nightingale has never been
in strong health, but she has written
several valuable books Treasure
Trove.

Useful Hints.

Glaze the bottom crust of fruit pies
with the white of egg, and they will not
be soggy.
To restore meat that is slightly tainted
boil it for few minutes with some
pieces of antiseptic charcoal, freshly
burnt
The whites of three eggs well beaten,
without any sugar, makes a nice frosting
for pudding. Spread Immediately be-
fore carrying to the table.
A delicious breakfast cake is made
with two cupfuls of milk, two cupfuls of
flour, and two well-beaten eggs, to be
baked in scalloped dishes or patti pans
1t may be worth knowing that water
in which three or four onions have been
boiled, applied with gliding brush to
the frames of pictures and chimney
glasses, will prevent flies from lighting
on them and will not injure the frames.
A formula for dose of sachet powder
is as follows: Three ounces powdered
starch, one ounce powdered orris, three
drops oil of patchouli, ten drops oil of
French geranium, five drops ottar of
rose, five drops essence of bergamot.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS

Recent Investigations have dispelled
the common belief that freezing purifes
water.
Unusually low water in Lake Con-

valuable and interesting relics Of the
prehistoric lake-dwellers.
An African arrow-poison, Strophan-

diseases of the heart, and the prediction
is made that IL will superscde digitalis.
Its properties were first brought to notice
by Prof. Fraser of Edinburgh University.

but quarter of an ounce. A snail

thread with another snail on its back.
The increasing difficulty of adding to
the worlds stock of knowledge of the
Arctic regions is turning the attention
OF explorers to the more distant but
fresher fields for research lying about the
South Pole. An Antarctic expedition is
now being fitted out by Baron Nordensk-
Jold, and is expected to leave Sweden in
the autumn for an absence of eighteen
months; while it is probable that during
the next few years several other expedi-
tions will be attracted to the unknown
seas of the Southern Hemisphere.

Chemical Composf,,ou NJ Mn,

From chemical point of view, man is
composed of thirteen elements. of which
five are gases and eight are solids. If we
consider the chemical composition of a
man of the average weight of 154 pounds,
we will find that he is composed in
large part of oxygen, which is in a
state of extreme compression. In fact, a
man weighing 154 pounds contains
ninety-seven pounds If oxygen, the
volume of which, at ordinary tempera-
ture, would exceed $50 cubic feet. The
hydrogen is much less in QUANTITY,
there being less than fifteen pounds, but
which, in free state, would occupy
volume of $500 cubic feet The three
other gases are nitrogen, nearly four
pounds; chlorine, about twenty six
ounces, and fluorine, three and a quar-
ter ounces. OF the solids, carbon stands
at the head of the metalloids, there being
forty-eight pounds Next comes phos-
phorus, twenty-six ounces, and sulphur.
three and quarter ounces The most
abundant metal is calcium, more than
three pounds next, potassium, two
and half ounces; sodium, two and a
quarter ounces, and lastly, iron, one and
quarter ounce. II is needless to saw that
the various combinations made by these
thirteen elements are almost innumer-
able. Il lie PractIcien.

Worms chat Fac stee, Ratls.

The existence has just been discovered
of dctcstable microbe which feeds upon
IRON with as much gluttony as the phyl-
loxcra upon the vine. Some time ago
the greatest CONSERVATION existed among
the engineers employed on the rail-
way at Hagen by the accidents occurring
always at the same place, proving that
some terrible defect must exist either
in the material or the construction of
the rails. The German Government di-
rected an inquiry to be made and Com
mission of Surveillance to be formed for
the purpose of maintaining constant
watch at the spot where the accidents
one of them attended with loss of
life-had occurred. 1t was not. how
ever, until after six months had elapsed
that the surface of the rails appeared to
be corrodcd, as if by acid, to the extent
of 100 yards. The rail was taken up and
broken, and 1t was perceived that it was
literally followed out by thin gray
worm, to which the qualification of
raiioVerous' was assigned, and by
which name it is to be classed in natural
history. The worm is said to be two
centimetres in length and of the size of
the prong of silver fork in circum-
ference. 1t is of light gray color, and
on the head carries two little glands
hlled with corrosive secretion, which
Is elected every ten minutes upon the
iron. This liquid renders the iron soft
and spongy, and of the color of rust, and
1t is then greedily devoured by the in
sect. There is no exaggeration, :" says
the official report of the commission, Sin
the assertion that this creature, for its
kind, is one of the most voracious kind.
for it has devoured thirty-six kilo-
grammes of rail in "a fortnight. -

ORIGIN of Pdpey- Hapufpos

The art OF making paper hangings was
copied from the Chinese, among whom

INTO common use in Europe till the
eighteenth century; but stamped papers
for the purpose appear to have been
made in Spain and Holland about 1865
The first allusiou to wall papers known
to exist Is in the examination of Herman
Schinkel, a printer Of Delft, who was
accused in 1868 of printing books mimi
cal to the Catholic faith Being interro-
gated as to certain ballads, nc said they
had been printed 10y his servant IN his
absence, and that when he came home

long before the time Of William of
Orange; but they usually consisted
merely Of maps Of the world, as it was
known then, with fantastic borders Of
Indians, negroes and elephants. and
other natives Of far-of regions" The
art Of paper hanging in imitation Of the
old velvet flock was new when William
came to England. II was on the walls
OF the drawing room at Kcnsington

The st. Louis Globe Democrat makes
this plea for the preservation of our
forests: ''In country whose annual
wood consumption, for building and
other purposes, is something over 90
900, 900, 900 cubic feet, the consideration
of such subject becomes of no little
moment. Then, aside from material
standpoint, forests bear also no small
part as moisture bearer in agricultural
districts. Only one who has lived in
and compared both forest clad and tree
less lands can fully appreciate the virtues
OF forest trees. This influence has long
been recognized in Kansas, Iowa, Ne
braska and the prairie States generally
even Missouri In these States day is
yearly set apart, called Arbor Dav,
which is devoted wholly to tree plant
ing. There can be little doubt that this
IS, In large measure, the influence
which today makes these States blossom
as the rose and cheer as well as remun-
crate the hard toll of the farmer. We
have still large area of forest lands, but
with wasteful and improvident man
ngement, how long would this last! The
forest tree is good thing to keep; and
IT is well that such an association as the
American Forestry Congress exists to
protect our natural forests and cultivate
an incentive for the planting of new ones
over the vast prairies Of the west"

las soon as the recruits, attracted by
the manifold consideration set forth on
the poster outside, come in to us,n the
officer said, ''they are examined by our
physician who test their constitutions in
every possible manner. In case thew
pass this ordeal, which is very severe,
they are examined as to their mental
qualifications, to ascertain whether they
are able to read and write, as required.
Those who come through this are then
allowed to enlist for five years. service
in the corps"
''Do any of the men re-enlist after
serving the full period?" asked the re-
porter.
"Oh, yes" was the reply. 81 should
say that majority of them do so. You
must not understand that all who enlist
serve five years, for large number of
them desert after "a few months. They
are poor lot, those fellows, and only
come into the service as sort of make
shift, when they have nothing else to
do. We do not care much when they
desert, for we always aim to keep the
corps full of good men who will STAY.
AS an inducement for them to remain in
the service, we offer increased pay for
each succeeding term they serve When
man has served for thirty years, that
is, for six periods, he may retire on
three quarters of the pay allowances to
which he was entitled during his last en-
listment. A large number have been
retired. Washington Star.

The daisy held her dainty cup
To catch the dew drops bright;
The bee bad kissed the clover boba,
And bade them all good night;
The katydid had tuned her song
Among the apple boughs,
And farther stretched the shadows long.
When jamie MIXED the cows
The swallows fitted here and there,
The bat had left his bower,
The primrose with bashful air,
Unciossd her petaied flower,
The whippoorwill his plaintive tale
Proclaimed meath wooded boughs,
And twilight dropped her dusky veil.
While jamie MIXED the cows
And Ben, the plow-boy, strolling by,
Comes through the open bars,
While softly in the western sky
Shine ont the tranquil stars.
And while the corn blades whisper low,
Two lovers pledge their vows,
Amid the twilight's purple glow,
While jamie MIXED the cows
A little cottage, snug and new,
With hop vines at the door;
The sunbeams, peeping softly through,
Lie dancing on the floor.
And when the first pale evening stars
Shine through the forest boughs.

Helps jamie milk the cows

Articles made of ivory should not be
exposed to heat or dryness. They should
never be exposed to the direct rays Of
the sun or placed in closet near or un-
der fire, rs they arc very apt TO split
under such circumstances. When ivory
becomes discolored it may be restored to
its white color by being soaked in water.
and when wet exposed to the action of
light while shut up in weli-closcd glass
case. When ivory has been kept long
it is apt to diminish in weight, owing to
the loss of gelatine, of which it is partly
composed. This may be remedicd by
soaking the article in a solution of that
substance. 1t is in consequence of ivory
being thus influenced that in making
very minute measurements it is seldom
employed.

The eighteenth volume of the ere
bellion Records" has been completed and
is ready for distribution. This work.
which was begun by the War depart
mcnt about nine years ago, promises to
continue for good many years before it
is completed. The eighteenth volume
only takes the history down to early in
1862. When the work is finished it is
estimated that it will fill 1877 volumes,
and the last volume will probably be
published some time in the next century.
The copy is very difficult for the prin-
tiers to handle. In many cases it con-
sists of notes, memoranda and dispatches
written on the field on scraps of paper.
1t is almost impossible to read many of
the notes, which are mostly written in
pencil. The matter is arranged to cover
the movements of each army separately.
II is not thought that there will be any
survivors of the war in existence when
the work is completed.
